Hotel history

An authentic way to discover Ypres: the Albion Hotel

'Like father, like son' as they say in Ypres, except that the Albion Hotel is run by two ladies: Christiane and her daughter Ruth. Both have been welcoming visitors of Ypres since 2000, when they started the hotel. The combination of hospitality, first class accommodation and cosiness was almost instantly a huge success amongst guests. 'I think our visitors keep coming back because they enjoy the relaxed atmosphere after a day of walking and visiting the region', says Christiane. 'If people tell us that when they enter the Albion Hotel, it is like coming home again', Ruth and I feel very proud. 'Because it is exactly that feeling that we want to share with our guests'.
